Bioartificial ligaments

Bioartificial ligaments are advanced medical devices designed to replace damaged or torn ligaments in the body, such as those in the knee or shoulder. They combine natural biological materials with synthetic components or incorporate living cells to create a scaffold that encourages tissue integration and healing. These ligaments aim to mimic the structure and function of real ligaments, promoting faster recovery and improved strength. By integrating biocompatible materials and sometimes stem cells, bioartificial ligaments offer promising options for reconstructing damaged connective tissues, enhancing outcomes for patients with ligament injuries.
